anaged to strike Pope at a point where he least expected, and after a sanguinary conflict at Cedar Run put him to flight, winning large trophies and capturing many prisoners, it is unnecessary to speak. This initiatory victory over Pope led to active measures in Washington to concentrate all the available Federal force on the upper Rappahannock with which to reinforce Pope. Meanwhile, General Lee, leaving D. H. Hill's division behind to watch the movements of McClellan, marched on the 13th of August with the main body of his army for Gordonsville, north of Richmond. Hill's command followed in the latter part of August, consequently reaching Manassas in time only to view the green plains strewn with the blue and gray dead, the living Federals having fled in confusion towards Washington. Such was the situation which marked the result of the three days fighting known as Second Manassas. Maryland, my Maryland! With what bounding hearts did our boys climb up the opposite shores of

ce to Mobile bay, and during the month of August all the defences of the harbor were either evacuated or surrendered. By the 23rd, the fleet had complete possession of the bay, but the city itself remained in the hands of the rebels. On the 13th of August, rumors of these events reached Sherman, at that time contemplating his final circuit around Atlanta, and he telegraphed at once: If there be any possibility of Admiral Farragut and the land forces under Gordon Granger taking Mobile, and furmery, my best plan would be to wait awhile, as now, and operate into the heart of Georgia from there. This was just at the time when Hood's cavalry under Wheeler had been sent to cut the railroad between Atlanta and Chattanooga, and on the 13th of August, Sherman learned that Wheeler was threatening Dalton. Before cutting loose, as proposed, he continued, I would like to know the chance of my getting the use of the Alabama river. I could easily break up the railroad back to Chattanooga, and

August 12. Everything was quiet on the picket line. A Rebel came into our line, who said he was from Cambridge, Mass. I sent him to the rear as a prisoner of war. He stated that he was in Richmond the Sunday before. Probably he was a bounty-jumper. I was relieved at 8 P. M. August 13. Heavy firing on our right to-day. August 14. Sunday inspection.

except those who have learned them from those who call themselves Christians. Such as whoredom and lewdness; and the various methods we too often practice to over-reach and cheat one another, and often to betray our friends and country for the sake of gain. * * * For though these vices are not universal, yet they are too commonly to be found among us. In the closing passage, we are counselled to live comfortably, and to be public blessings; to live desired, and die lamented. 1757 Aug. 13 or 14, 1757, Mr. Cooke preached a sermon on occasion of an eclipse of the sun this day, and the awful news of the surrender of Fort William Henry, the 8th instant. The text was Zech. 14:6, 7, and the subject was divided into two discourses. The sermon was repeated at Stoneham, Feb. 23, 1758; on June 4, 1773; at Lexington, Sept. 5, 1779; at Watertown, Sept. 12, 1779; and on May 21, 1780.

tood that the enemy was about to transfer the theatre of active operations to the Rapidan, and determined to forestall him, so as to render it impossible for him to resume the offensive on the James. In fighting Pope with all his forces he was fully certain of drawing all the Federal troops also in that direction, and of thus freeing Richmond from the danger which had threatened that capital since the day when McClellan first made his appearance on the Chickahominy. Accordingly, on the 13th of August, he responded to Jackson's appeal by putting Longstreet in motion with his whole corps and Hood's division; Anderson's strong division was to follow immediately. Stuart was brought back to Gordonsville from the neighborhood of Fredericksburg, where he was watching the lower Rappahannock; D. H. Hill was left to guard Richmond with his corps, the recruits and depots. We have said that Lee's army was then from ninety to ninety-five thousand strong. Out of this number he took with him abo

of cavalry, with a few batteries of artillery. The departure of Holmes had left him commander-in-chief of this little army, which sickness and the severe loss experienced in front of Helena had reduced in number and greatly discouraged. White River was the first serious obstacle which the Federal army had to encounter. To prepare its march three steamboats ascended this river and explored it as far as Clarendon, the point where Steele was to cross it, and which they reached on the 13th of August. They effected a few captures, and made sure that the passage of the Union column would not encounter any resistance. The latter, in fact, having reached Clarendon on the 17th, landed without difficulty on the right bank of White River. But it had made but one halt, at about thirty-seven miles, and already numbered in its ambulances more than one thousand sick, so much had the enervating climate of the vicinity of Vicksburg sown morbid germs among the Northern men. It was necessary to

laimed as his own. His son-in-law Usher, of Boston, formerly an adherent of Andros, and a great speculator in lands, was appointed, under him, lieutenant-governor. Such was the English revolution of 1688. It valued the uncertain claims of an English merchant more than the liberties of a province. Indeed, that revolution loved, not liberty, but privilege, and respected popular liberty only where it had the sanction of a vested right. In 1692, the new government for New Hampshire 1692. Aug. 13. was organized by Usher. The civil history of that colony, for a quarter of a century, is a series of lawsuits about land. Complaints against Usher were met by counter complaints, till New Hampshire was placed, with Massachusetts, under the government of Bellamont, and a judiciary, composed of men attached to 1699. the colony, was instituted. Then, and for years afterwards, followed scenes of confusion;—trials in the colonial courts, resulting always in verdicts against the pretended pr
